First of all, sorry for my late reply!

So let me illustrate what happens:

Traditionally, I have exim4 + apache + mysql + vexim running on host
'zero'. Recently I moved the vexim php code to a virtual machine called
'two', but I still use the same database.

When I log in as siteadmin and create a new local domain 'example.tld',
this is the error that I get:

Virtual Exim -- -- Error getting UID/GID for example.tld

However, the UID and GID (in my case it's 115 and 122) exist on both
hosts:

mtp@zero:~$ grep vmail /etc/{passwd,group}
/etc/passwd:vmail:x:115:122:,,,:/var/spool/vmail:/bin/bash
/etc/group:vmail:x:122:

mtp@two:~$ grep vmail /etc/{passwd,group}
/etc/passwd:vmail:x:115:122:,,,:/var/spool/vmail:/bin/bash
/etc/group:vmail:x:122:

So I figured the only thing that is different is that the local
mailspool (/var/spool/vmail) does not exist on host 'two'.

Cheers,

Maarten
